Abstract

This study aims to: 1) Find learning devices based on contextual teaching and learning (CTL) that can improve students' mathematic problem solving skills at SMP Negeri 1 Hamparan Perak; 2) Find learning devices based on contextual teaching and learning (CTL) that can increase student self-efficacy at SMP Negeri 1 Hamparan Perak; 3) Find practical contextual teaching and learning (CTL) based learning devices that can improve the problem solving and self-efficacy ability of students at SMP Negeri 1 Hamparan Perak; 4) Find learning devices based on contextual teaching and learning (CTL) that are effective to improve the problem-solving ability and mathematic self-efficacy of students at SMP Negeri 1 Hamparan Perak. The results show that: 1) Students' mathematic problem solving ability using learning devices based on contextual teaching and learning (CTL) increased; 2) The increase in students' self-efficacy after using contextual teaching and learning (CTL) based learning devices has increased; 3) The developed contextual teaching and learning (CTL) based learning device met the criteria for practicality of the learning devices; 4) The learning devices developed through contextual teaching and learning (CTL) to improve students' mathematics problem solving ability and self-efficacy have met the criteria of being effective. Keywords : development of learning devices, contextual teaching and learning, problem solving ability, self-efficacy DOI: 10.7176/JEP/12-8-07 Publication date: March 31 st 2021

It can be concluded that the developed contextual teaching and learning (CTL)-based learning tool can improve students' mathematical problem solving ability

Summary

Introduction

In the mathematics learning process, there are several learning components that affect the achievement of learning objectives. One of the learning components is learning materials. As stated by Suparman (2014: 39) that there are six basic components in learning activities, namely, students, competent graduates as expected, instructional or learning processes, teachers, curriculum and learning materials. Hasyim (2014: 269) states that teachers are an important component in education, namely people who are responsible for educating students' lives and are responsible for all attitudes, behavior and actions in order to foster students to become good and useful people for the country and the nation. Teachers as implementers of education are expected to have learning devices as guidelines in implementing the learning process in the classroom. The learning device is a device used in carrying out teaching and learning activities in the classroom. Learning devices are the main things that must be used when carrying out learning in class (Trianto, 2009: 201)
